What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) may admit to a veterans home a person who is a veteran and who meets certain other eligibility requirements. One of those requirements is that the person has care needs that the veterans home is able to provide.
The statutory provision as to this requirement that was in effect prior to the enactment of 2013 Wisconsin Act 20 (Act 20), the biennial budget act, specifically listed chronic alcoholism, drug addiction, psychosis, and active tuberculosis as such care needs. Act 20 removed this list from the statutory provision and this bill restores the list.
